Hi!

I have had the exact same email from a Kelly, renting an apartment in Lausanne, Switzerland. She claims to be in her 50's with children, and an engineer living in London. I found the add on Craigslist

Does this sound like the same guy? Really would appreciate your response if it is, how did you know it was a scam?

This time the email address is coming from [email protected]

Thank you

If you got the same email, then you are definitely dealing with an African scammer. This person does not have an apartment to rent--he simply copies descriptions from real rental advertisements, posts them as his own, and then demands up-front deposits via wire transfer.
